My question is, since I don't plan on overclocking, is there any way to reduce the cost of the system with equivelent parts while not losing any of the speed or quality, and can anyone point out a decent looking case that doesn't include plastic in it's making.

There's really no reason for you to spend a ton on a high end motherboard. Do you plan on running SLI in the future? I ask because it seems people assume it's a possibility, but it's not that common of a thing to do. If you don't, that Corsair 750W is just fine, if you do check out the power supply requirements to run two of those video cards, and purchase accordingly.

Most of the bad reviews are about DOAs and complaints about stuff having to do with other than performance. For less than that Corsair you posted, you'll get way better performance out of it, provided the motherboard you chose has an open PCI-E 4x slot.

If you want to stick with a good brand SSD with a SandForce SF-1200 controller-

I have (2) GTX 480's and I'm happy, but if I was going to buy a card now I'd spend my money on the GTX 580 and spend less on the SSD. The G.Skill Phoenix Pro 60GB or the OCZ Vertex2 or the Agility2 60GB drives are your best choices. You can always add a 2nd SSD later, if you need it, at a cheaper price.

Everything else looks good to me, unless your thinking about SLI later. In which case I would get a 1000w power supply from Corsair, Antec or from another "Good" brand name manufacturer.
